TOURNEFORT, JOSEPH PITTON DE (1656-1708)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 106 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TOURNEFORT, JOSEPH PITTON DE (1656-1708) , French botanist, was born at Aix, in
Provence
 , on the 5th of June 1656. He studied in the convent of the
Jesuits
  at Aix, and was destined for the
Church
 , but the death of his father left him free to follow his botanical inclinations. After two years' collecting, he studied
medicine
  at Montpellier, but was appointed professor of botany at the Jardin des Plantes in 1683. By the king's order he travelled through western Europe, where he made extensive collections, and subsequently spent three years in
Greece
  and
Asia
 
Minor
  (1700-1702). Of this journey a description in a
series
  of letters was posthumously published in 3 vols. (Relation d'un voyage du Levant, Lyons, 1717). His
principal
 
work
  is entitled Institutiones rei herbariae (3 vols. Paris, 1700), and upon this rests chiefly his claims to remembrance as one of the most eminent of the systematic botanists who prepared the way for Linnaeus. He died on the 28th of December 1708.
